Woodland encounters unfortunate local rule

By

ORLANO, Fla. – Gary Woodland pushed his drive right of the sixth fairway, onto a cart path, over a temporary fence and into a water hazard on an adjacent golf course at Bay Hill on Thursday.

After a few moments deliberating with a rules official he learned the temporary fence is considered out of bounds under the local rules, but then the group, which includes Dustin Johnson, are not exactly experts when it comes to local rules.
